The more I read this thread, the more I think this is just a bug in Cron. It should really only operate on UTC, regardless of the local time set on the server.

Hold on, I'm not a sysadmin guy. Are you folks saying the server should not know what part of the world its in, that basically it should think it's in Greenwitch? I would have thought you co…

I had to update my credit card details on Dropbox, but the website it so badly designed, I almost just canceled. I'm not sure if its dark patterns or incompetence. I _suspect_ they switched me fr…

I don't down vote very often, but that's not how we roll around here.

I'm 33 on the leader-board for Hyper Meteor!

No expert, and fully expect to be flamed, but we are now living in a society that has discouraged "sucking it up" or "burying your emotions" for 30 years. It not really possible to…

I love the idea of my Steam Deck, but most steam games just aren't make for tiny 720 screens. I'm an old man now, I can't read tiny fonts. Also, the face buttons are just to far to the …

I've yet to see continuity working. Small clips is one thing. To have the same character, wearing the same clothes, revisit environments, with the same lighting and post processing is very differ…

Wow, Just reading the headline I had assumed they were giving the new article as a document, then asking it to summarize the the document given.

Full support for Ublock Origin. Perhaps at the native level rather than as an extension.

err. NP never paid any bills :) Was always just a hobby project. It makes enough to cover the hosting, but not much more than that. My day job is working in a small games company called BlueManchu. We…

Yes! NP was originally written in 2010 so it's vanilla js on the client. Had a python server for many years, but when I had to move from python 2, I switched to js for the server as well. When th…

They will have whole galaxies of resources! Massive amounts of redundancy. Mines, Refineries, and Factories on planetary scales. Not going to happen tomorrow, but perhaps in the next few thousand year…

You'll be doing fine too, just doing other work. And you can see it coming so there is plenty of time to prepare.

I'd be more concerned about some alien force moving through our part of the galaxy and we get stepped on and squashed like an ant on the pavement.

We should expand our definition of Aliens visiting earth. If we received a signal (at light speed) that described how to build a physical alien computer, and then ran a program on that computer, which…

We fleshy humans will never visit other stars, but our AI children will be able to explore the galaxy with all the time in the world.

I don't know about faster than light, but as soon as we have real AI, it will simply be information and should be able to travel at about speed of light.

Try game dev. It's still like that today.

A closer analogy would be a chef who chooses to have a robot cut his tomatoes. If the robot did it perfect every time I'm sure he would use the robot. If the robot mushed the tomatoes some of the…

Who is paying them all that money do you think?

Or you are the target, and your LLM is poisoned to work against you with some kind of global directive.

The sentiment is OK, we _should_ think more about what we build and why. It's the nationalism at the end I find kind of yuck. What do you call it when you want to improve the lives of all humans …

OMG what did I just read. That place is not cool.

The point I was trying to make is the financial incentives are just not there. It costs money to translate (and localize) IPs and unless they are really good, people here are just not going to like th…

thanks

Where did you see this? I haven't read that anywhere.
